Mrs. Gui collapsed on the ground.
The old lady of Yongding Hou despised her unpromising appearance, frowned contemptuously, and walked away holding the hand of the old nanny next to her.
And Gui Tong was still thinking about the heartless words that the old grandmother said to her before she left.
The old grandmother's sharp and ruthless eyes made her heart still beating wildly.
The old lady said that she was so stupid that she still had the face to stay at Gui's house. Raising a pig was more useful than her. If Princess Water Chang asked her to go to the nunnery to practice, it would be cheaper for her...
The old lady also said that the family would not fight against Princess Ruoshui for such a stupid her, and asked her to pack up and go to the nunnery to practice tomorrow!
Gui Tong didn't know what was wrong with him, everything was fine, why was he sent to a nunnery to practice
Also, how could grandma treat her like that
And grandfather, why did he agree to send her to the nunnery to practice without even going to talk to Princess Ruoshui
Mrs. Gui went into Gui Tong's room crying, and Gui Tong started beating around like seeing a savior.
But she only dared to do this in front of her own mother, Mrs. Gui couldn't save her at all.
No matter how unwilling and regretful she is now, she will inevitably end up going to the nunnery to accompany the ancient Buddha with the green lamp.
After Madam Tang returned to the eldest princess's mansion, she reported to Princess Ruoshui what happened in Yongdinghou's mansion.
Princess Ruo Shuichang curled her lips and sneered, "That old madam always says one thing and thinks the other, I don't think she will be so reconciled, forgive her for not being able to make any big waves, just let her go. "
Tang Nanny thought the same way, so she smiled.
After drinking the well water with alum stone added for a few days, Princess Ruoshui became healthier day by day.
Mother Nan, Mother Tang, and Eunuch Huang who knew about it all came to Lin Fufu to discuss whether it is better to add more alum stones to the well water.
Because they all thought that maybe this alum stone was the antidote to the chronic poison that Princess Ruoshui suffered from.
But this idea was rejected by Lin Fufu.
It is already very good to be able to delay the poison now, if this alum stone is not the antidote, and eating too much will cause bad things, then it will be too late to regret it.
After being explained by Lin Fufu, Nanny Nan and others also felt scared. Fortunately, they came to ask the princess, otherwise it would be too late to regret if they messed up and messed up.
The healthy Princess Ruoshui went to court normally, and His Majesty the Emperor was very happy to see that she was in good health, and rewarded many precious medicinal materials to the Princess's mansion.
Previously, when Princess Ruoshui was not in good health, the precious medicinal materials in the palace were sent to the Princess' mansion like water. Princess Ruoshui was very sad when she saw that the medicinal materials in the treasury were almost unable to hold.
Seeing her worry, Lin Fufu came up with an idea, "Auntie, I have a lot of raw medicine shops. If it is not against the rules, I will sell some valuable medicinal materials in my shop. If I get money, I can subsidize the national treasury. This can be regarded as a relief for your majesty." .”
Princess Ruoshui's eyes lit up when she heard the words, she nodded immediately, "Okay, that's a good idea! That's it!"
After thinking for a while, he said again: "The national treasury is getting more and more empty, girl, you have to help me find a way. I really don't have many good ways to deal with the economy."
After reviewing the memorials in the past few days, Lin Fufu had long understood the seriousness of the emptiness of the national treasury. She originally planned to wait for Princess Ruoshui to get better and remind her to solve this problem as soon as possible.
But Princess Ruoshui had asked Qiu Daqin to start investigating corruption, because the time is still short, and there is no effect yet.
But soon it was time to pay the salary again, so Princess Ruoshui was really anxious.
"Auntie, I have thought of a few ways before. But it will not happen overnight to completely solve the emptiness of the national treasury. Fortunately, there are not many wars outside now. If Dawei is safe for a few more years, it will not It can also be reversed." Lin Fufu said while helping Princess Ruoshui to press her shoulders.
Princess Ruoshui nodded again and again, "Of course I know this. You see, I have worked hard for more than ten years, and the treasury is still empty and I am about to be unable to pay my salary." Tell me."
As for Lin Fufu's refusal to call her mother, although Princess Ruoshui felt lonely, she still didn't show it.
She believed that Lin Fufu was a child who valued love and righteousness, and sooner or later, her mother would shout this out.
The more Princess Ruoshui looked at Lin Fufu, the happier she felt.
Lin Fufu smiled, and then said: "Everyone talks about increasing income and reducing expenditure, Auntie, I also went to the palace to pay attention these days. Although the food and clothing in the palace are not considered luxurious, I think it can be more frugal. That is It can be a bit more luxurious when there are vassal states or envoys from other countries in the audience."
Princess Ruoshui nodded, "I think it makes sense when you say that. The last time I went to see the fifth prince, I saw that Chengfei's food and clothing expenses were almost catching up with the Queen's. She is not an imperial concubine." Well, that's too extravagant. There are other concubines. Although the palace advocated frugality back then, and His Majesty also supported frugality in the harem, some concubines were spoiled and spoiled, and the divisions in the palace were not enough, so they asked their natal families to help them. Feeling that their natal families are all rich!"
Hearing Princess Ruoshui's complaints like this, Lin Fufu laughed inwardly, but Princess Ruoshui actually told the truth.
If it is really counted, I am afraid that those prominent concubines in the palace have more family property than Princess Ruoshui.
Lin Fufu couldn't help thinking of the famous book "A Dream of Red Mansions" in his previous life.
There is a bridge section where the concubine returns to her natal family to visit relatives. For example, Jia's mansion spent a million taels to build a beautiful Grand View Garden.
In fact, the Great Wei could learn from this idea and let the concubine go back to her natal family to visit her relatives, and then the imperial court sent imperial merchants to sell building materials for the construction of the relatives' palace.
After careful operation, the money finally entered the treasury.
Lin Fufu mentioned this suggestion to Princess Ruoshui, and Princess Ruoshui's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Well, that's a great idea!" She said excitedly, "I'll write a note and discuss this matter with His Majesty later."
Lin Fufu knew that she only needed to make this suggestion. The other Princess Ruoshui had discussed with His Majesty the Emperor, and they would naturally send someone to take care of it.
"Do you have any good ideas?" Princess Ruoshui asked Lin Fufu again.
Lin Fufu pondered for a moment, then pursed his lips and said, "Actually, I think the royal family is very mysterious to the common people, and the things used by the royal family are all made by the imperial family, which is very attractive to the common people. I think if your majesty can make a decree , if some treasures collected by the royal family are put up for public auction, I think that there are so many rich people in Da Wei, and some families with rich heritage will also be willing to use silver to auction for collection."
In Lin Fufu's view, some good things such as rubbings of treasures handed down from generation to generation, famous paintings and handwriting, and antique porcelain are all kept in the royal collection for decades and hundreds of years without seeing the light of day. People buy them back and treasure them.
Princess Ruoshui didn't immediately agree with Lin Fufu's suggestion, because there are some things that are used by the queen, whether it is for the common people or those of aristocratic families, they are not entitled to enjoy them at all.
She felt that Lin Fufu was too courageous, and dared to make such an idea.
"I'm afraid His Majesty will not agree." Princess Ruoshui frowned after pondering for a while.
Lin Fufu tilted his head to look at Princess Ruoshui, and asked with a smile, "Why does Your Majesty disagree?"
Princess Ruoshui smiled helplessly, stretched out her hand to take a sip of tea, and said: "My ancestors never did this, and your Majesty dare not break the ancestral system easily."
The emperor seems to be above ten thousand people, but he is not so free, he can do whatever he wants.
Every thing you do, every decision you make must be carefully considered, even if you do so, you may still be opposed by those old censors.
But Lin Fufu thinks that if there is no destruction, there will be no progress, and if there is no change, there will be no progress.
What's more, she also knows that some of the treasures collected by the royal family are not actually owned by the royal family. Some are looted through wars, some are tributes from neighboring small countries or vassal states, and some are tributes from ancient families.
Who dares to say that those must belong to the royal family.
In fact, it belongs to the wealth of all mankind.
Now that the Wei treasury is empty, exchanging some of it for money and finding a good home for those treasures, in Lin Fufu's opinion, is a really great thing.
"Auntie, you are about to persuade Your Majesty. Some rare treasures are not handed down from the ancestors all the time, right? If they are handed down from the ancestors, or treasures with a long history, then you can keep them. Pick out a few pieces every year The auction, I don't think it matters." Lin Fufu said.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and her tone became excited, "By the way, I think we can pick out some treasures from other small vassal countries as tribute, and we can invite the envoys of that country to come to the auction. I think they must be very interested. And we can also show the tolerance and broad mind of our Great Wei!"
Princess Ruoshui thought seriously after hearing the words.
In all fairness, she felt that Lin Fufu's suggestion was amazing, but she knew more about His Majesty's intentions, so she was really not sure.
Lin Fufu saw Princess Ruoshui's face, and knew that she was not very sure.
On the contrary, she herself felt that this method was very good.
"Also, Auntie, there must be treasures handed down from other families in the treasury of the royal family. Maybe they were gifts from the ancestors of the previous generations to the royal family. They can also be auctioned. I believe those families are very happy to spend a lot of money. I bought it back. And the money I get is put into the national treasury, which is also a good thing for the country and the people, isn’t this a huge success?” Lin Fufu paused, and said with a confident smile: “I really don’t believe the emperor’s uncle Disagree after thinking about the benefits."
In the affairs of the world, profit is the top priority, even for the emperor.
His treasury was almost unable to pay the minister's salary, Lin Fufu didn't believe that he knew such a quick way to get money and was not tempted.
So she tried her best to persuade Princess Ruoshui to talk to the emperor's uncle, "Auntie, no matter what, if you think this method is good, you can really discuss it with Your Majesty!"
